Android Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
I applied online and a recruiter contacted me.
I had two phone screens, both involving coding on CoderPad.
The first one went okay and involved coding a smart collection with binary search trees. The second one went very well, with two coding questions: one on reversing a number and another on sorting an array based on another array.
I received feedback that they were impressed with my second phone screen and invited me for an onsite interview at SFO.
The onsite involved five rounds:
- Android App coding for 90 minutes and discussion on the Android app for 1 hour.
- Lunch with the team and a culture fit discussion with a manager.
- A coding interview.
- A hiring manager interview.
- An OO/MVC design round.
The whole interview went well from my side, except in the coding round. I solved one question out of two and gave the approach for the second, but ran out of time to code it.
I had a good experience with the way the interview went, but unfortunately, I was not given an offer.

Uber Work Experiences
- 5.0Uber for workAndroid Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesJune 1, 2021Pros: Big company, you get good compensation and really good benefits. Software development culture is enjoyable and growth-oriented. Good values like honesty and ethics are really important for them. Definitively a good place to work.Cons: As the company is big, work comes in waves. Sometimes you do not have a lot, and sometimes you have tons. Also, you may feel your visibility dissipated because of how big the company is. In their defense, they are trying to avoid this, but they still have work to do. This last one is also true for "leveling." Meaning, working at Uber, you feel the "levels" they have a little bit. They are trying to avoid that, but are still working on it.
- 5.0Uber is the best job I have ever had!Android Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesOctober 28, 2014Pros: Fast-paced, challenging work environment. Opportunity to work on big things which are changing cities and the way of life of millions of people.Cons: If you're not into fast-paced, challenging work environments, this might not be the place for you. The talent bar is very high, and so are expectations.
- 1.0Worst work-life balance everAndroid Engineer • Current EmployeeOctober 25, 2017Pros: Free, disgusting, watery chicken for lunch every day. Sometimes, when the previous day's food isn't finished, it's served the next day. Yummm...Cons: Pushy management. Absolutely no work-life balance. (Oh, unlimited vacations, you say? Let me dump 10 projects on you before you leave, and after you finish, then you can go.) Want 7-8 hours of sleep like a normal human being? Too bad, you're only going to get a maximum of 4 hours. Expect to work 8 more hours after you get home, and the cycle starts over again.
